Props to HC Mike McCarthy

[jazzcat22]

No one gave Dallas a chance to play as well as they did.

MM had the team ready and prepared and they played hard.

He had faith in his offense to go for it on 4th and 2, from around midfield on the 1st drive.

I agree. And, with a certain HC we had before Mike, this would've been a loss.

Careful, you know the rules around here

1) Lose and it the Coaches, game plan, and front office’s fault
2) Win and its the players

Great coaching job today. No doubt about it.

MM was as bad as he has EVER been today. That 4th down call was dumb at the beginning of the game, but it worked. His clock management was terrible. What did he do? Stupid penalties. His team tried to give this game away as often as they could.

Every time the other team punts I feel like we are going to do something stupid and run into the kicker and give them a first down. Happens once a game minimum.

You CANT be serious?

The still featured the horrid Zeke which almost blew the game. We needed 2, 50 yard FGs' in the waning seconds of each half to pull this out.

I'm not sure if it was "faith" or "desperation", but it worked out.

One thing McCarthy has shown is that he can find ways to win when injuries happen or things dont line up the way they should

i hope he can find more way to win because we need it

Do you seriously not understand why Zeke is on the field? I'm not being facetious or anything. I genuinely want to know if you don't understand why he is out there.

Once a game minimum…when did it happen this game.

OMG!!! Please explain to me because for the life of me I cant EVER figure it out.

Honestly................to compliment coaching after a game like this is laughable. Unless your going to compliment Quinn.

The other two were pathetic.

Your hate for Zeke is hilarious. Sweet dreams about him tonight, he lives rent free 24 / 7 in your head.
Don’t blame Zeke, blame idiot Moore for the play calls.

No he does not. His hate rules his thoughts.

If we can tell him he had a bad day, we gotta tell him when he’s had a good one; today was a good one

When it's a passing play, especially with Cooper Rush at QB, the Cowboys prefer to keep a back in the backfield to protect him. Tony Pollard is really...really....REALLY bad at pass protection. Zeke is actually very good at it.

So the Cowboys, especially in a game like today where they knew they needed to limit turnovers and just keep Rush from making too many mistakes played "conservative". The Cowboys coaches feel like Zeke as a last defense to the back up QB is a better trade off then Pollard being back there all game. You may not feel this way but the coaching staff certainly does, and as a fan of the team and someone who watched today's game I side with them on this.

There were quite a few plays where Zeke stepped in and made big blocks on passing downs that Cooper was about to be throttled on.

The other part is they can also hand it off to him and he is still capable of getting yards. Albeit not the big chunk plays Pollard can do but good enough to keep him in for pass pro.

Your hero was great again. You should be proud.

So why did he get15 Carrie’s?

Fyi….pollard isn’t bad at it. Another myth.

Because you don't throw every time a certain player is in the game. I think coaches who study games would catch wind pretty fast of that. Also Zeke isn't a player defensive players like to tackle. So he can wear down a defense better then Pollard can, thus allowing Pollard to be ready to gash them because of this. So having him be the between tackle runner doesn't hurt this team as much as you think it does.

You're serious though. I thought you genuinely didn't know but I see now you just don't understand the game of football very much. It's not a bad thing, it just helps me with further back and forths with you
